'Halston': Film Screening and Panel Discussion
7:00 PM - 9:30 PM / January 23, 2024
Free, advanced registration required
Arguably the first American celebrity fashion designer, Roy Halston Frowick, known by the single moniker Halston, created the sexy-flowing look that defined the 1970s. Directed by Frédéric Tcheng ("Dior and I"; "Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel") and produced by Roland Ballester ("MerPeople"), "Halston" weaves a partially scripted format with rare archival footage and intimate interviews – including Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, and Joel Schumacher – to create a textured, behind-the-scenes look at the famed designer’s life and the friction between his artistic talents and business pressures. Following the film screening, we will host a discussion with producer Ballester, Halston’s niece Lesley Frowick, and models Alva Chinn and Karen Bjornson.
